- Death of former Members: Expressions of Sympathy (12 Dec 2018)
Richard Boyd Barrett: On behalf of Solidarity-People Before Profit, I extend my sympathy and condolences to the Harte and Barnes families.

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Rebuilding Ireland: Minister for Housing, Planning and Local Government. (12 Dec 2018)
Richard Boyd Barrett: The first point I want to make was made to me by Mel Reynolds. I always give credit where it is due. This is a pretty serious matter. There is a very significant discrepancy in the local authority output figures in 2017 between what the Minister is claiming and what is in the National Oversight and Audit Commission, NOAC, report published in September 2018. This exposes a spin that is...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Rebuilding Ireland: Minister for Housing, Planning and Local Government. (12 Dec 2018)
Richard Boyd Barrett: I am not interested in making political or other charges for the sake of it. Rather, I am interested in getting to the facts.
